Help! I've just started reloading and I'm having a lot of problems with the seating/crimping step. I've read the directions for the dies (RCBS, and I have an RCBS reloader special press) about a million times, gone to their website, read the parts in the Speer reloading book and I still end up with squashed .44 Magnum cases or bullets with the noses seated flush with the case mouth.
I'd also appreciate a good medium power load (~1000 fps out of a 6.5" barrel) using 2400 powder and a 240 grain cast SWC.
